It shall be your responsibility to answer for

next query topic, and seeing to it that he follows
this.
Hehe, I was gonna try and answer the first
question, but I admit I had no clue about q's
2 or 3. I don't no what the IEEE format is,
but I'd guess it would be Integer, Exponent,
Exponent, Exponent?
Besides, without a computer (or appropriate
calculator) it would have taken ages to
work out the binary for question 1 (the initial
few bits would have been easy but the rest...
urgh!).
Also.... in binary with binary points what would
the bits be known as that were below the
binary point?
If we have a value of say 11.111 which would
be the first bit (bit 0)? The 2nd one (reading
left to right) or the 5th one (far right)?
